Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of end-sealing machine equipment, in particular to a double-end-sealing plate turning method and device. Background Art

[0002] In the chip component termination machine equipment technology, the thick silicone plate is replaced and fed by pressing the needle bed plate downward to press the thick silicone plate with one side of the chip capacitor that has been terminated into another empty plate. The two thick silicone plates are fixed vertically with a replacement frame in the middle to ensure the vertical balance of the two plates, and the chip capacitor is smoothly replaced from one plate to the other.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a surface changing device, whose structure is that a surface changing frame and a thick silicone plate to be changed are installed from left to right respectively. The needle bed plate below is a transverse moving platform. The needle bed plate transverse moving platform first moves to the leftmost end, waiting for the plate-taking robot to place the thick silicone plate with one side of the chip capacitor that has been sealed and dried on the top of the needle bed plate, with the chip capacitor facing up. By moving horizontally to the right, the needle bed plate platform moves to the bottom of the surface changing frame, the platform motor is pressed down, and the surface changing frame is placed above the thick silicone plate of the chip capacitor. After completion, the needle bed plate platform continues to move right and moves to the bottom of the thick silicone plate platform to be changed. The platform motor is pressed down, and the thick silicone plate is placed above the surface changing frame. At this time, the needle bed plate is pushed forward one step further, and through the characteristics of precision, the chip capacitor is completed and placed in the thick silicone plate at the top, completing the surface changing work. Although this entire set of actions is completed fully automatically, each action is completed separately on each carrier. The face-changing frame and the thick silicone plate to be replaced are loaded on two carriers respectively. The steps are cumbersome, the efficiency is low, and the multiple mechanisms lead to high costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the problems and shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a double-end plate turning method and device to reduce the number of mechanisms and work steps, while reducing costs and improving the end-sealing speed and work efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0006] The double-end plate steering method comprises the following steps:

[0007] (1) Place the empty first thick silicone plate and the face-changing frame on the transverse platform at the same time, with the empty first thick silicone plate at the bottom and the face-changing frame at the top;

[0008] (2) Before changing the surface, the plate-taking mechanism takes out the second thick silicone plate with the chip capacitor that has been sealed and dried on one side, flips the second thick silicone plate 180 degrees so that the chip capacitor faces downward, and then places the second thick silicone plate in the surface-changing frame on the transverse stage, aligning the second thick silicone plate with the chip capacitor with the empty first thick silicone plate;

[0009] (3) The lateral platform moves to the needle bed platform, and the chip capacitor is pressed into the empty first thick silicone plate below by the needle bed needle of the needle bed platform, and the chip capacitor is exposed on the side to be sealed. After the pressing is completed, the needle bed rises, and the lateral platform carrying the first thick silicone plate and the second thick silicone plate is moved to another flip mechanism;

[0010] (4) Another flipping mechanism simultaneously clamps the first thick silicone plate and the second thick silicone plate, rises to a certain height, flips 180°, and then descends, placing the first thick silicone plate and the second thick silicone plate back on the transverse platform;

[0011] (5) The lateral movement platform moves the first thick silicone plate and the second thick silicone plate to another plate-taking mechanism. The other plate-taking mechanism takes away the first thick silicone plate that has been placed in the chip capacitor and enters the end-sealing station to perform end-sealing on the other side of the chip capacitor.

[0012] (6) The lateral movement platform moves to the residual material suction mechanism, which uses a dust suction device to suck away the chip capacitors remaining on the second thick silicone plate where the chip capacitors have been transferred;

[0013] (7) After the cleaning is completed, the lateral carrier is quickly moved back to the station of step (2) to enter the next thick silicone plate chip capacitor end-capping operation;

[0050] First, place the empty first thick silicone plate 31 on the transverse platform 2, and place the face-changing frame 32 on the first thick silicone plate 31. Move the transverse platform 2 to the leftmost end, and the left plate-taking robot 55 clamps the second thick silicone plate 33 with one side of the chip capacitor sealed and dried, flips it 180°, and the chip capacitor faces down. The left plate-taking robot 55 descends to the set position, and places the second thick silicone plate 33 into the face-changing frame 32 on the transverse platform 2. The position is fixed by the positioning pins at both ends, and the transverse platform 2 moves to the right and enters under the needle bed platform. The cylinder 43 controls the needle bed 44 to press down.

The transverse platform 2 moves to the rightmost end, and the plate-taking robot at the right end takes away the first thick silicone plate 31 with the chip capacitor placed in it to enter the end-sealing work. At this time, the transverse platform 2 moves to the left and enters under the residual material suction mechanism. The residual material suction mechanism descends and fits the second thick silicone plate 33. The second thick silicone plate 33 with residual chip capacitors on the board surface is sucked clean by the dust suction principle. After completion, the transverse platform 2 quickly moves left back to the leftmost end to enter the next thick silicone plate operation.
